Reading a Map & Density Review

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume.

Front

How do you calculate density?

Back

Density is calculated using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for density in the metric system?

Back

The unit of measurement for density in the metric system is grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Front

If a liquid has a mass of 200g and a volume of 50mL, what is its density?

Back

Density = Mass/Volume = 200g/50mL = 4 g/mL.

Front

What does it mean if an object is denser than water?

Back

If an object is denser than water, it will sink when placed in water.

Front

What does it mean if an object is less dense than water?

Back

If an object is less dense than water, it will float when placed in water.

Front

What is the meniscus in a liquid measurement?

Back

The meniscus is the curve at the surface of a liquid in a container, and it is important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.

Front

How do you read the meniscus on a graduated cylinder?

Back

To read the meniscus on a graduated cylinder, look at the bottom of the curve at eye level to get an accurate measurement.

Front

What is the relationship between mass, volume, and density?

Back

The relationship is defined by the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. This means that if you know any two of these values, you can calculate the third.

Front

What is the significance of ordering liquids by density?

Back

Ordering liquids by density helps to understand how they will interact when mixed, such as which will float on top of others.
